Oh beloved, worshipped, sacred, holy Monks: I have written a script to grab a www page. I have to pass cookies in order to get the page. I can successfully get it, but it seems the cookies arent being used properly. I have asked around among all the perl people I know, but no one can answer this for me.
Can anyone find any problems in this code? The cookies file is correct and standardized... looks like this:

#LWP-Cookies-1.0
Set-Cookie3: id=bob_loblaw; path="/"; domain=yoursite.here.com; path_s
+pec; expires="2005-12-31 23:59:33Z"; version=0
Set-Cookie3: username=blahblahblah; path="/"; domain=yoursite.here.com
+; path_spec; expires="2015-11-06 08:09:49Z"; version=0

--------------------------

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;

my $rssFile = "dump.rss";
my $wwwSite = "www.your.site.here.com";
my $cookieFile = "c:/cookies.txt";
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$browser->timeout(10);
$browser->env_proxy;
$browser->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => $cookieFile ));

my $response = $browser->get( $wwwSite );

if ($response->is_success) {
  open RSSDUMP, ">" . $rssFile;
  print RSSDUMP $response->content;
  close RSSDUMP;
}
else {
  die $response->status_line;
}

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
